Tune:Morning Star
(\'Brightest and best of the sons of the morning\')
Psalm 113
*******
Praise you the LORD, worship with Hallelujah
Praise His great name, He JEHOVAH, He JAH*
Raise you worship to Him, all you His servants
Prayer and praise ascend like fragrant incense
Blesséd be the name, the name of the LORD sure
From this time forth, and be for evermore
In all times of day, from sun rise to dusk fall
He worthy to be praised by one and all
The LORD, high above all the nations is He
His glory above the heavens is, see
Who is like unto the LORD our God, we cry
He dwells on high, exalted, yet us nigh
He humbles Himself the things to here behold
The things that are in heaven, He involved
With them, and the things that too in the earth are
He views all from low to highest afar
The LORD, the poor He raises out of the dust
Out of their downcast, oppression, and rust
The needy He lifts up out of the dunghill
Out of their misery, cares for them still
He does this so that He may with them then set
With the princes of His people and yet
Has good things for them, to prosper fruitfully
Barren woman He makes mother to be
Keeper of a house, she shall joyfully know
Blessings of children, she shall fare well so
Praise you the LORD, worship with Hallelujah
Praise His great name, He JEHOVAH, He JAH*

* Jehovah is God\'s \'name, shortened to \'Jah\' or \'YHWH\' (Yahweh).
Many people never spoke it, considering it too holy to speak it, and
writing it as G_d.
\'Hallelujah\' or \'Alleluia\' = Hallel and Jah = Praise the Lord.
